Rawalpindi, December 26, 2024: Imran Khan, the founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has admitted that the current government has successfully stabilized Pakistan’s struggling economy, which was on the brink of collapse.
Speaking from Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, Imran stated, “The government has successfully prevented the economy from going bankrupt.”
When asked by journalists if he was conceding that the government had improved the economy, Imran clarified, “While the economy has been stabilized and saved from bankruptcy, it has yet to experience growth.”
In the meantime, a delegation from PTI’s negotiation committee arrived at Adiala Jail to meet Imran Khan. The committee, which includes key PTI leaders such as Omar Ayub, Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Allama Nasir Abbas, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, will brief him on the progress of the first round of talks. Sources confirmed that Gandapur’s vehicle was allowed entry to the jail for the meeting.
Imran Khan’s statement comes as military courts handed down sentences to 60 more civilians for their involvement in violent attacks on military installations during the nationwide riots on May 9, 2023.
This follows the recent announcement by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) that 25 individuals had been sentenced in connection with the same events.
